Confusion Is...

21/college girl/bicoastal "I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us." - Franz Kafka

BLUE BLOOMS OUR YOUTH

Self-promotion time: I just started a website where I will be blogging essays, criticism, and short fiction; right now I started it off by posting the first paragraph of the novel I am currently working on, which is called The Sibyl and is a retelling of the Roman myth of the sibyl set among a group of recent postgraduates quickly realizing their place in contemporary America’s decline and fall. You should read and follow me!
